Chapter Seventy-One: Retreat as Advance
When Li Jun asked, Yang Lian was thinking, in fact, Li Jun, the Son of Heaven, made such a move, which was to have doubts about him, and since he had doubts, it was okay not to do this festival. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Lian suddenly bowed his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it is not Xiao Siqing who is humiliated by Weichen today, and Weichen does not blame him. ”
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, if Yang Lian didn't pursue it, everything would be fine. He knew Yang Lian's temperament, so he was quite relieved, and when he heard the words, he saluted Yang Lian and said, "Thank you Yang Jiedu." ”
Yang Lian smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has made a decision and is determined to return to his hometown and not ask about political affairs from now on." ”
Li Jingsui's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "Yang Lian, why are you doing this?" ”
Li Jun also said: "Yang Aiqing, Mi is young, what do you say to return to your hometown?" I don't allow it! ”
Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Lian naturally knows that Datang needs manpower, but looking at Datang, there are many talents, and there is no shortage of micro-ministers, or if micro-ministers withdraw, this court will be stable." ”
Li Jun waved his hand and said: "Yang Aiqing, although I have many courtiers, there are only a few people who can actually help me do things, I know that you have been wronged this time, and I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
Yang Lian's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for the chance of Weichen to catch this person, I'm afraid that the grievances on his body would be difficult to wash away. Wechen is not afraid of death, but before he dies, he still has a charge of rebellion, which is the shame of Wechen. ”
When Li Lian heard this, he kept his mouth shut, but paced in the room, Yang Lian's words made some sense, after knowing that he was likely to be the old prince of the previous dynasty, Li Jun did have murderous intent, and none of the chaotic ministers and thieves who endangered the court and intended to subvert the Tang Dynasty could not stay.
At this time, Yang Lian proved his innocence, all of this was caused by King Yan, and Li Jun suddenly remembered that Yang Lian was getting better. Yang Lian is indeed too impulsive sometimes, and has had conflicts with King Yan, but these are small sections, and they are not worth mentioning in terms of Yang Lian's ability and loyalty.
Li Jun thought about it again and again, shook his head, and said, "No, Yang Aiqing, Datang needs you." ”
After Yang Lian saluted Li Jun and Li Jingsui, he said: "Your Majesty, King Qi, Weichen's heart has been decided, from today on, I only want to be a rich man, and I will never be involved in political affairs again." Wechen retired. So saying, he withdrew.
Li Jingsui opened his mouth wide, this Yang Lian began to lose his temper again, he saw it twice, but Yang Lian still walked out.
Li Jun and Li Jingsui glanced at each other, and Li Jun said: "Alas, this matter was not handled properly, so that there was a disaster!" As he spoke, he punched the table and scolded: "This Yan Wang is really disappointing!" ”
The table vibrated again, the fold on top fell and fell to the ground, and the bottom was wet with tea, Gao Ze hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the fold.
Xiao Yan wanted to make meritorious service at this time, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a note. ”
Li Jun frowned and looked at him and said, "What ideas can you have?" ”
Li Jingsui said: "Brother Huang, you might as well listen to it, maybe it can be used." ”
Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Yang Jiedu is worried about now is that he is afraid that his life will not be guaranteed, so it is better for His Majesty to personally issue an order to issue a holy relic that can avoid death to calm his heart." ”
Li Yan was silent, and only then did he say in a half-loud voice: "Useful? ”
Li Jingsui said: "Brother Huang, but you can give it a try." ”
"Hmm!" Li Yan paced, thought for a moment, and said: "I asked people to mint a token and engrave Yang Lian's name and surname, if it is not a major crime of rebellion, no matter what is committed, it can be exonerated." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Xiao Yan was busy patting his ass.
Li Jun laughed angrily, snorted, and said, "Okay, since Yang Lian doesn't pursue it, you can retreat, be more attentive in the future, investigate carefully, don't let people deceive." ”
Xiao Yan responded, slowly exited the imperial study, and saw the moon buds hanging in the sky, he realized that the sky was already dark, touching his head, the thing on his neck was still there, Xiao Yan felt extremely lucky.
In the imperial study, Li Wei glanced at King Qi and said, "King Qi, Yang Lian's side, you have to comfort him with kind words, don't let him retreat." ”
Li Jing responded, and at this time, the eunuch told him that Fang Jinzhao, the secretary of the Ministry of War, wanted to see him.
There are so many things happening today, and all the courtiers who have a little vision will not ask to see them at this time, and the military department must have something important to do.
Li Jing, the king of Qi, arched his hand and was about to withdraw, since it was the military department Shangshu who asked to see the emperor's brother, there was no need for him to stay here.
Li Jun stopped him and let the military department come in.
Fang Jinzhao came in, his face was a little not good-looking, and after giving a salute, he handed over a fold and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Haichu and Chu Prefectures." ”
"Haichu and Chu Prefectures?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, waved his hand, and Li Jing took the fold from Fang Jinzhao's hand and handed it to him.
The excerpt was written by Lin Renzhao's signature, and it took Li Yan a lot of effort to remember that Lin Renzhao was a general of the old Fujian State, but he didn't seem to have much ability in ordinary times, and he stayed in Jinling for nearly two years, and he was still an ordinary general.
In the excerpt, Lin Renzhao said: Recently, in the border area with the Han State, the group of thieves is raging, and they have made trouble in the territory of the Han State, and many villages have been burned down.
Li Jun thought about it while looking at it, this excerpt came a little strangely, as if it was said to be good. He took a closer look at Lin Renzhao's payment and found that the time was more than half a month ago, so he was relieved, Yang Lian had not rushed back to Jinling at that time, it seemed to be just a coincidence.
But after such a long time, it only arrived in his hand at this time, Li Jun asked, and only then did he know that it was the official of the military department who accidentally fell into the corner when he was sorting out the folds. Today, a few small officials of the Ministry of War cleaned up and picked them up in your corner, and someone hurriedly handed them to the squire of the Ministry of War, and the squire of the Ministry of War saw it and hurriedly gave it to Fang Jinzhao.
Li Jun nodded, when Yang Lian first went to Haichu and Chu Prefectures, he had a confrontation with a group of thieves, and he arrested a lot of people afterwards, but they were all some small minions, and the real bandit leader hid in the mountains and did not come out. Originally, Yang Lian planned to join forces with several Jiedu envoys of the Han State to suppress the bandits, but he agreed, but the Han side refused, so that the matter ended without a hitch.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, this group of bandits and thieves did not die, and came out to stir up trouble again, thinking that the hoarded food was almost eaten, and they came out to rob again.
"I see." Li Jun put the fold on the table.
Fang Jinzhao hesitated a little and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send troops to support Haichu and Chu Prefectures?" ”
"I'll tell you after I think about it." Li Jun said.
Fang Jinzhao saw that the face of the Son of Heaven was not very good, and remembered today's events, so he hurriedly retreated.
"The hearts of the thieves in Huaibei are not dead, these people take robbery as their business, and they do not produce, if they are killed in Haichu and Chu Prefectures, it will be extremely destructive." Li Jingsui said.
Li Jun nodded, he naturally knew this truth, Haichu and Chu Prefectures were the places where Yang Lian was guarded, and it was best to let him go back to defend against the enemy, but ......
"I originally promised Yang Lian to marry Huairou in May, but now it seems that it will be postponed." Li Jun was a little apologetic, but it was obvious that this apology was mostly for the king.
Li Jingsui smiled and said, "Brother Huang! Yang Lian has always been willing to share worries for the country, and now that there may be a war between Haichu and Chu Prefectures, he will inevitably be duty-bound. ”
Li Jun sighed and said, "This is the best, King Qi, since there is a new change, don't tell him for the time being, let him calm down first, and then make plans after I give him the gold medal for avoiding death." ”
"Whoa." Li Jingsui replied.
Prison.
Li Hongji was imprisoned inside, but the cell was excellent, it was spotlessly cleaned, and there was even a bouquet of flowers in the bottle, and there was a faint fragrance in the cell.
Li Hongji sat cross-legged on the soft collapse, with remorse in his heart, after he let the rumors be spread, he asked the housekeeper to kill the man, but the housekeeper was obviously ineffective and did not kill the man, and it was even possible to accept the man's bribe and let him go.
No matter what way it is, there is only one consequence, that is, he fell short, not only did he not bring down Yang Lian, but planted a big fight, his father already distrusted him, thinking that he designed to assassinate the hero, the crime is unforgivable, otherwise he would not be imprisoned in the prison.
As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, and his father may not kill him, but I am afraid that his career in this life will end here, and it is even more unattainable to regain the position of prince.
How did it come to this? Li Hongji smiled bitterly, originally things were not planned like this!
Just as Li Hongji was thinking, there was chaos in the prison, and the jailers were nervously busy, as if they were welcoming someone.
Soon, Li Hongji got the answer, and Empress Zhong slowly walked to a short distance with a few palace maids, looking at him through the thick iron pillar.
"The Queen Mother." Li Hongji's heart is full of despair, this despair is the despair of his career, is there no emperor in his life?
Empress Zhong's eyes were very complicated, with worry, pity, and a hint of hatred, how could her son do such a thing? The royal face was all lost by him!
In the face of her son's crying, Empress Zhong bit her lip and did not speak, she understood very well that her son wanted to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty and ascend to the Ninety-Five Emperor in the future, but the Son of Heaven had already sworn in front of the Liezu that there would be no change at all.
Besides, the Son of Heaven appointed Li Jingsui as the king of Qi, and the meaning is self-evident. When the Son of Heaven was still in the East Palace, he was the King of Qi! It can be said that becoming the king of Qi means that he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he must be the son of the Tang Dynasty in the future!
Li Hongji cried for a while, after all, blood is thicker than water, Empress Zhong sighed, and said: "Son, don't be nervous, although your father is angry, but finally has no killing intent, the mother concubine will talk to him at night, and you must save your life." ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. In the future, children must pay attention, and there will never be a next time. Li Hongji kowtowed again and again, tears flowed down his face, only if he could survive, there was other hope.
Empress Zhong watched silently for a while, sighed, and said, "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" After speaking, he left with the palace maid.
